What is the ruling on delaying the prayer for female students due to the lack of free time in the schedule?

Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says that female students in the College of Education do not perform the midday prayer until after they leave the college and go to their homes, because there is no free time allocated in the schedule. What is the ruling on their delaying this prayer and performing it at home after leaving the college?

Answer:
There is nothing wrong with it if they perform the prayer before its time expires. If they perform it in their homes before the time expires, there is nothing wrong with that, and they are excused due to the lack of a suitable place. If they perform it before the time for the afternoon prayer enters, there is no blame on them for that. However, if they delay it until the time for the afternoon prayer enters, that is not permissible. They must pray in the place where they study; they must pray before the time expires.
